    The difference is scale. The larger they are, the longer they last, the more people they collect. More people means greater sociocultural presence which means more widespread acceptability even with non-believers. More people also means more money and other resources which means more power, the capacity to bend the society in which they exist. The larger “religions” label the smaller religions as “cults” as a form of basic anticompetitive practice.
